This is the third book in the Venice Mafia series and while it can be read as a standalone, there will be spoilers from the previous books. I personally did not read the first two and I followed along just fine. 

I found this one to be on the lighter side of the mafia romances I read read lately, but it was still very good. It would be a perfect for anyone who is just diving into the world of mafia romance. 
I loved the relationship between Leo and Rosa. Leo was so supportive of Rosa and her fashion business and I loved how he made sure her family knew just how proud he was of her. And Rosa, I loved how she was patient with Leo and never forced him to talk about the things that were bothering him and was instead just there for him. 

Thank you Good Girls Pr and the author for an eARC.

 
Melanie is a fashion influencer from Boston who takes a trip to Nova Scotia in an attempt to create more content for her dwindling social media account. But when she arrives to find out the resort has booked the wrong dates for her trip and now is sold out she scrambles to find a place to stay in the mean time. Enter Evan, the burly, grumpy lumbersnack who helps run a small town dilapidated airbnb. 

I thought this story super cute, relatively fast paced, had some great banter, and I loved the character development and found family vibes. This is the third and final book of The Influencers series, but can be read as a complete standalone. I had not read the other books prior.

I went into this one completely blind and honestly requested because I thought the cover was adorable. Turns out I really enjoyed Nick & Hayley’s story. There was a bit of drama, defiantly some emotional conversations, but ultimately I felt this was a very lighthearted read that breezed right through. 

My only dislike was that I found it a bit confusing when the POV would change mid-chapter and the characters weren’t even in the same scene. 
 
Thank you to Netgalley and Alcove Press for the eARC.
